Best two reviews:
1) Rolling Stone - In this haunting portrait of America as no country for old men or young, Hillcoat -- through the artistry of Mortensen and Smit-McPhee -- carries the fire of our shared humanity and lets it burn bright and true. (Rating: 88) Read Full Review >
2) Chicago Sun-Times - The Road evokes the images and the characters of Cormac McCarthy's novel. It is powerful, but for me lacks the same core of emotional feeling. (Rating: 88) Read Full Review >

Worst two reviews:
31) Variety - Except for the physical aspects of this bleak odyssey by a father and son through a post-apocalyptic landscape, this long-delayed production falls dispiritingly short on every front. (Rating: 40) Read Full Review >
32) Village Voice - Pale by comparison to an action thriller like "Children of Men" or gross out eco-catastrophe like "Land of the Dead," squandering its ready-made zombie scenario. (Rating: 30) Read Full Review >
